A video about women's makeup throughout history proves that makeup is weird.
Women have worn makeup since the dawn of man (I have zero proof of this fact). There have been stark differences in makeup styles throughout history, and it would be pretty sweet if we started bringing some of these beauty trends back. Fashion trends are always being recycled. Bell bottoms for example, the herpes of denim, just keepcomingback. Let's do the same with makeup! Pick your favorite era and try it out at work tomorrow, it'll help make Monday bearable.

During India's Gupta Age, the bindi (red dot), was worn by married Hindi women. It served as a way to say "back off bro" without uttering a single word. If you wear this makeup today, you still might have to tell bros to back off.

If you have no pigment, this is the era for you! Women idolized looking like vampires apparently, they even drew on fake veins so they would look paler. Go team Edward.

The Japanese Geisha look is a great way to make people think you are an actual Geisha. I recommend acting like nothing is out of the ordinary when people ask why your face is painted.

Try out some fun 60's makeup if you want to look like you walked off the set of Mad Men and got lost for a few years since the current season is set in the 70s. Added bonus: fake eyelashes bat away dust particles as well as unwanted sexual advances from your boss at the ad agency.
